If you’re expecting to see bears during your hike, you’ll be very disappointed. Or maybe you’ll be very relieved. Some people say it’s named as such because it resembles a sleeping bear. While it’s unclear exactly why this mountain was named as it was, what is clear is that you will definitely get some breathtaking views. On a clear day, you’ll even see the New York City skyline. Which makes sense, being that this park is only about an hour drive from Manhattan.
